Tasting notes
Bright, fresh and fruity with lush red cherries, ripe strawberries, dried flowers and smoky depth. Medium-bodied on the palate, this shows moderate acidity and chewy tannins with a chalky finish. Drink now.

Bright ruby red. Currently somewhat restrained on the nose, showing slight hints of geranium and cold smoke, distant hints of dried tomato. Extremely polished on the palate, with creamy tannins, showing generous candied raspberry fruit, grippy, salty finish.
